Application filed March 12, 1927. Serial No. 174,933.

The present invention relates to an advertising light to be used mainlyfor advertising purposes. V

Another use of the invention is as a stop and go sign.

An important object of the invention is to provide a device of thisnature, wherein it may be supported in any suitable manner to project asi on a pavement or the l" like for advertising'purposes.

Another important object of the invens tion lies in the provision of adevice f this a nature which is comparatively simple 11 con- 15 tomanipulate, compact and convenient, at-

struction, adjustable for properfocus, easy tractive in appearance, andotherwise well .adapted for the purpose for which it is dey signed- Withthe above and numerous other ohjects in view, as will appear'as thedescripand claimed.

In the drawing: I Flgure 1 1s" an elevation of a dev1ce'c0n structedmaccordance wlth my inventlon.

Referring to I the drawing in I detail, it

30 will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a supporting bracket having apair of arms 6 projecting upwardly from its end 'ortion and convergingtoward each other an mergin into a stem 7, on which is slidable a tu e8, which may be held in diflerent ad- 'usted vpositions because of a setscrew 9. he tube 8 ends inan eye 10 for receiving ascrew 11, whichpierces a connecting member 12, holding the two light, elements. Thesetwo light-elements are of an identical construction, and a. detaileddescription of one will'suflice" for both.

The numeral 14 denotes amoncavO-convex casing having an electric socket15 mounted ber there is mounted a slide forthe desired advertisingmatter as is denoted at 24 and has a plane convex glass 25 on each sidethereof. It will be obvious that by properly adjusting the tubularmember 20 of the tubu ar member 18, the proper focus maybe obtained forprojecting the advertisingmatter on the panel 24 upon the pavement as isindicated upon the drawings. The'two advertising-light elements may beused in conjunction with each other. It is quite apparent, also, thatthese light elements may be used for stop and go signalling purposes,by'using a go sign or'pa'nel 24 in one and a stop panel 24 in the'otherand having suitable switches foncontrolling the'bulbs- 16,-

It'is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now be apparent to those skilled in this'art without amore detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of theinvention has been disclosed in detail merely by way :of example, sincein actual practice, it at tains the features of avantage enumerated asdesirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.It will,be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and.-in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to,without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, ashereinafter claimed or sac rificing any of its advantages.

what I claim as new is:

A device of the class described com rising a .concavo-convex casing, asocket or a lamp in the casing, 'a reflector in the casing, a lens inthe casing, said casing merging into a tubular member, said reflectorand lens I being arranged to direct rays from the lampto the tubularmember, a second tubular member threaded'in the first tubular; member,means forlo cking .the second tubular member In dilfere'nt adjustedpositions in centrally therein withwhich is engaged an relation tothe'first tubular member, a transelectric bulb 16.
